Weather in August
Temperature
With August's arrival, Patrick Henry Heights's weather records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.8°F (31°C), marking little difference from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). In Patrick Henry Heights, an average low-temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C) is recorded during August nights.Heat index
August's mean heat index is appraised at a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
